Donq — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

This place has a lot of customers every day so the bread on display is changed rather quickly, which is one good reason to like this place, as a result you tend to have fresh bread to choose from almost every day at almost any time. This is good news for those that want to have a fresh loaf of bread every morning. Also to select your bread and then join the queue and then pay takes about "20 minutes", if you already know what type of bread you want, and do your selection rather quickly and then you can join the long queue just outside the shop. There is almost always a longish queue which is additional testament to why the bread is so good..Basically the bakery provides a range of typical French bread, baguettes in different sizes, croissants with or without additional "extras", or condiments, e.t.c., chou de la creme, cream buns.

So I ended up getting the Cheese and spinach rustique and the Tart Aux fromage.

I would have liked the bun to be softer and not so chewy.

Tart Aux fromage:

This was really good too, the fromage filling was thick but not too heavy. The sweetness was just right.

Although it is called a tart, it was not actually a tart because the base was made from bread and not tart pastry, but it was shaped like a tart containing...

High quality Japanese bakery with a French name. Good for the French bakery stables like baguette and plain breads, loafs. Also has a wide selection of Japanese bakery products such as the melon bun, sausage roll, bread with fish roe etc. Also has seasonal limited offers according to the Japan seasons, and special occasions like Halloween and Easter. A place for easter hotcross buns during easter if you want those! 4 stars because they are slightly pricy compared to others in the area. Partly location and partly the high quality...
